REAPER'S LEGACY by Joanna Wylde (R)

 

 

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Eight years ago, Sophie gave her heart—and her virginity—to Zach Barrett on a night that couldn’t have been less romantic or more embarrassing. Zach’s step-brother, a steely-muscled, tattooed biker named Ruger, caught them in the act, getting a peep show of Sophie he’s never forgotten.

She may have lost her dignity that fateful night, but Sophie also gained something precious—her son Noah. Unfortunately, Zach’s a deadbeat dad, leaving Ruger to be Noah’s only male role model. When he discovers Sophie and his nephew living in near poverty, Ruger takes matters into his own hands—with the help of the Reapers Motorcycle Club—to give them a better life.

Living with outlaw bikers wasn’t Sophie’s plan for her son, but Ruger isn’t giving her a choice. He’ll be there for Noah, whether she wants him or not. But Sophie does want him, has always wanted him. Now she’ll learn that taking a biker to bed can get a girl dirty in every way.

 

 

MY REVIEW

 

4 out of 5 *Stars*

First of all, I have to say… what a great cover! You know, my brother is the president of a MC, and if all his club members looked like this and walked around with their shirts off, I would spend SO much more time hanging around him and his friends. LOL

To the book itself… I thought it was good, not as fantastic as Book 1, Reaper’s Property, but still a great read. I thought the beginning was good in the fact that it set up a really good background for the characters. Rugar was perfection! Not a Horse (RP), but still up there.

“Rugar was over six feet tall, roped with muscle and annoyingly handsome in an I’m-probably-a-murderer-but-I’ve-got-dimples-and-a-tight-ass-so-you’ll-still-lust-after-me kind of way.”

 You always knew what type of person he was and what to expect, even if what you expected was completely off the wall.  What a mouth too!  Man, he could talk the panties off a nun.  Here are just a couple lines… This was an erotic romance novel, so if you have sensitive eyes, I suggest that you skip past the quotes.  ;)

“Jesus you piss me off.” he murmured. "Good thing your cunt’s so fucking hot.”

“Don’t call it that.” His lip twitched. 

“Good thing your vaginas so gosh darned hot, because I really, really want to stick my penis in it and have repeated sexual intercourse, bringing us to a mutually satisfactory culmination of our desires. How’s that sound?”

LOL

“I want to own every part of you,” he continued, his breath hot against my skin. “I want to throw you face-first across this counter, rip off those shorts and fuck you hard and fast until my goddamn cock stops hurting and my balls don’t feel like they’re gonna explode.”

Holy Hell!!  See what I mean?  There are others that I won’t even get into. *Fanning*

Then there was Sophie.  I thought she started off really good, but by the middle of the book, I just wanted to reach inside my eReader, slap her across the face, grab her shoulders and shake her while yelling, “Make up your damn mind, for crying out loud!”  She whined so much that I started to roll my eyes whenever she went on a rant.  It got old.  However, I did like how she was not a pushover, and always was thinking what was best for herself and her son.  One of her best lines…

“I deserve to be with someone who gives a shit about me, as a person.  Someone who values me enough not to fuck other women.  I’d rather be alone the rest of my life then settle for what you’re offering.  Consider yourself a hell of a booty call, but that’s it.  We clear?”

 

Overall, I like the story.  It was a little predictable at times, but then would throw me for a loop on the next page.  Other than the annoying heroine, I really enjoyed the book, and finished it within a day.  Now, after the little teaser for the next book, I can’t wait.  This is me waiting, not so patiently, until it comes out.
